HOOD FOB MOUTHPIECES OF PIPES OR THE LIKE.

. Specification of Letters I atent.

Patented Nov. 25, 1913.

Application filed March 27, 1913. Serial No. 757,056.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERBERT E. HAG- MUELLER, a subject of the German Emperor, residing at Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hoods for Mouthpieces of Pipes or the like, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to smoking pipes or mouthpieces for cigars or cigarettes and more particularly to means for protecting the opening in mouthpieces against clogging and for expelling the nicotin or other matters from the passa e of the mouthpiece.

The device substantially consists of an elastic normally inflated bispherical hood terminating at one end intoa narrow nozzle adapted to fit in the opening at the mouthpiece. The hood roper is adapted to be turned once over t e mouthpiece and then over itself, thereby tightly closing the opening of the mouth iece and at the same time the air containe in said hood, when the latter is turned or folded over the mouthiece, expels the nicotin or other matters rom the passage of the mouthpiece either into the bowl of the pipe or outwardly, in case of mouthpieces for cigars or cigarettes.

An example of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this specification and in which similar reference letters denote corresponding parts, Figure 1 showin a pipe partly in section and the hood applied thereto; Fig.

2 showing an enlarged longitudinal section ipe and of.

of the mouthpiece end of the the hood partly drawn or fol ed over the same; Fig. 3 a similar section of the pipe and of the hood completel drawn over the same and Fig. 4 a longitudinal section of the inflated elastic hood.

a denotes the smoking pipe and b the mouthpiece thereof.

The new device consists of an elastic normally inflated bi herical hood 0, c, the part 0' being of su cient diameter to enga e around the rounded ortion b of the mout piece (Fig. 2) and t e part 0 being of somewhat larger diameter so as to be capable of being drawn over the part c (Fig. 3), there bein a contraction between the two parts a, 0, (Figs. 1 and 4). The part c terminates into a narrow nozzle a, the diameter of which corresponds to that'of the passage 6 of the mouthpiece and is adapted to fit in the said passage (Figs. 1 and 2).

When in use'the nozzle 0 is introduced into the passage 6 and the part 0' will be folded or turned over the rounded portion 6' of the mouthpiece (Fig. 2) and then the. 'part 0 will be turned over the part c (Fig.

3). By the folding of the hoodthe air contained therein will be pressed into the passage b of the mouthpiece and expel or blow any foreign matter contained therein into the bowl portion of the pipe or outwardly when a mouthpiece for cigars or cigarettes is used. Thus the hood serves a double purpose, namely, first to tightly close the opening of the mouthpiece to prevent it from becoming clogged, when it. is carried in ones pocket for instance, and furthermore, as means for automatically expelling or blowin out the nicotin or other matters contamed in the passage.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. The combination with a mouthpiece of a ipe or the like, of an elastic normally in ated hood having anozzle at one end, said nozzle bein adapted to fit in. the opening of the mout piece and the hood being adapted to be turned over the. mouthpiece and also over itself, so as to protect the opening of the mouthpiece and to expel matters contained in the assage.- I v 2. The com ination with a mouthpiece of a pipe or the like, of an elastic bis herical inflated hood having a nozzle, sai nozzle being adapted to fit in the opening of the mouthpiece, one part of the said hood being adapted to be drawn over the end of the mouthpiece and the second art being adapted to be drawn over the sai first art of the hood, whereb the opening of t e mouthpiece is tight y closed and the matters contained in the passage of the mouthpiece are ex elled or blown out.

n testimon whereof I aflix my signature in presenceo two witnesses.
